well , it's a mix of verious games but for me it's more like Batllefield 2 gameplay mixed with Project Reality features in a Unreal Engine 4  + VOIP.
sounds good eh ? maybe they should make it the title of the game ehehhe

Voip is fully implemented with voice positioning so you can tell where are your buddies.

It's just BF2 Project Reality on a new engine, made by the same people.  Supposedly it's going to be entirely F2P as well.

Quite alot of alpha test gameplay on youtube, this one I just watched was pretty epic:


They are going to do kickstarter soon, so might be first game I crowdfund - unless melee counts.
Title: Re: Squad
Post by: Casimir on May 22, 2015, 12:54:22 pm
I look forward to the kickstarter because hopefully then the devs will produce some videos and not random people on youtube.

I hope i'll be able to load up on rpg's and take out campers hiding in bushes and windows, was the thing that annoyed me the most in insurgency.

Yeah, it looks a bit too much like Insurgency or something. What does it offer that Arma 3 and/or Insurgency don't?

There are also a lot of traps for FPS games whose main marketing gimmick is "realism." Those games tend to actually become even more unrealistic (and less fun) than Call of Duty because they always assume that bad aiming and clumsy movement = realism.
Title: Re: Squad
Post by: Vibe on May 28, 2015, 01:57:41 pm
That's just the thing that goes through my mind. Why this when I have Insurgency and Arma?
Title: Re: Squad
Post by: Casimir on May 28, 2015, 03:06:29 pm
Well it looks way more fluid than Arma which is by nature  a very clunky system which has always made pvp and Multiplayer less enjoyable. On insurgency it looks like it's got more depth in gameplay and the inclusion of vehicles/deployables is a big plus.  I'm just happy to see a great modding team take their talent to the next level.
Title: Re: Squad
Post by: Xant on May 28, 2015, 03:40:15 pm
What do you mean by "more depth in gameplay"? "Deep" is such a cliche word nowadays, the amount of games with a "deep crafting system" for example is massive..
Title: Re: Squad
Post by: Casimir on May 28, 2015, 04:57:39 pm
As in there is more to do, more options in gameplay, more versatility and replayability in the game itself. Insurgency suffered because so many classes were redundant and the game doesn't make the most of role variety.  It's a straight forward term in English I don't understand what is tripping you up.
Title: Re: Squad
Post by: Xant on May 28, 2015, 05:44:29 pm
Because it means absolutely nothing by itself? It's the same as "rich." "Rich world", "deep gameplay", marketing terminology that has nothing to do with reality.

So Squad has basebuilding and vehicles, is there anything other than that that's different from Insurgency?
Title: Re: Squad
Post by: Casimir on May 28, 2015, 06:10:59 pm
It's an adjective Xant, it has a very clear meaning to me. Depth means there is lots to it, it's not simplistic or repetative,  there is complexity in the mechanics of the game.

The addition of vehicles and basebuilding is good to me, those are both fairly significant gameplay additions which add replayability and variety in experience.  This discussion is pointless as we havent had hands on experience, from what they have announced on Kickstarter and their website it looks promising though.
Title: Re: Squad
Post by: Overdriven on May 28, 2015, 06:18:34 pm
If it is indeed the project reality team then I'll be interested, their mods were always great on the BF games, although sometimes a little too slow paced due to the 'reality' aspect.

Yes, it's an adjective that has no clear definition when it comes to gameplay, who defines what constitutes deep gameplay? Is Insurgency not deep? Certainly the devs would claim so, pretty sure all devs of all games would.

The most important thing for me will be how Squad handles moving while aiming and what the movement speeds will be like. I don't like Insurgency forced mega-slow walk.

Post by: Banok on May 30, 2015, 02:22:23 am
People who try to compare to arma/insurgency haven't played PR mod bf2.

The reason why this kickstarter got funded so quick is cause the mod is that good.

Your question is kinda like saying why play cRPG doesn't age of chivalry do the exact same thing?

But anyway arma is not built for pvp, altho there a pvp mods its never the same. Insurgency is build for pvp and actually has quite similar gunplay to PR but its also simular to counterstrike.

In insurgency theres no vechicles, the maps are tiny, indestructible, static, the rounds and short and meaningless. its a fun game but very casual despite the "hardcore" gun damage.

In PR rounds last hours, teams build up bases, it can actually be realistically boring - but that just makes it feel all the more realistic when you do spot an enemy and you don't know whether its a civilian or a jihady pointing an RPG at you precious APC which you literally need to not blow up to win the round you just been playing for last hour!

Adrenaline makes game feel more realistic than polygon count.

I played PR for a pretty long time, and I don't recall people hating on "pubs" that much.  All you really had to do was be in mumble (which automatically syncs with the game) and be able to listen to your teammates, I've had some pretty good matches where over half of my squad had to type in squad chat.

Meh, PR has a pretty hardcore group of dedicated people who are into that kind of stuff. Nothing wrong with them playing how they want, with others of a similar mind set. Mics are cheap anyways, no excuse to not have one.

I prefer to not use mics. One thing talking to someone IRL when LANing or back during the good ole days when playing splitscreen Halo 1 on Xbox or any other console game with a REAL FRIEND AND PERSON YOU CAN SEE but not comfortable using mic to talk to randomers online. Whatevs. Insurgency, BF games will have 2 suffice for FPS fix.

Plus in general i despise ''standalone mics''. Headsets is the way 2 go.

i think the difference between speaking irl and online is the smell of the sweating armpits.
seriously , did you ever seen Friberg (csgo pro player) watching f0rest (another pro player) in the eyes and make some sort of crypted gesture to ensure him he's going to plant on A?
I agree on the fact that you enjoy games much more with friends , smoking pot , drink beer , insult girls in the background blabbering etc but this is another type of entertaining. You can easily enjoy a game with a mic , speaking with other players all around the world and you don't need them to be your best friends....it's just a better experience.

Saw Raz yesterday playing on PR on PRTA. Didn't have time to say more than hello.

As a almost ten year PR veteran, Squad looks extremely interesting. I suggest people try out PR:BF2 as it's now standalone and you don't need to hunt for a BF2 copy anymore.
